Frank Mir used superior boxing to defeat Antonio Nogeuira (though Minotauro has wonderful boxing abilities himself). The punch that made all of it possible is an uppercut/jab. It is a strike that is not really taught in any combined martial arts gymnasium as a result of it’s a complicated boxing move. It worked nicely in this struggle, as a result of it is neither a jab nor an uppercut, but has the speed of a jab and the ability to split a block like an uppercut.
Of the three times that Nogeuira was knocked down, at the very least 2 of them were finished after Mir by the uppercut jab. This is because of the immense pace of the punch, plus the curious skill of this punch to not commit weight. This is advantageous because Mir was in a position to keep his ft moving and not get right into a buying and selling battle with Nogeuira. A combat he in all probability would have lost due to Minotauro’s potential to take a punch and keep going.
So where do you study this essential ability, end up a good boxing coach. Many boxing coaches train boxing, however not at the level the place you’ll discover this strike included. Or if you do not have a coach, it’s at all times a good suggestion to coach it your self, and it work it in (slowly) into your sparring sessions. You must use the method sparingly instead of your jab. This fashion you’re not going to get your butt kicked whilst you insert it into your arsenal. Then it is best to practice utilizing the punch while transferring, this is a main benefit to this punch, it is best to never be committed to this punch till you already know you will get this punch off effectively. Save it for shock attacks (like Nogeuira’s shock when it was thrown towards him, throughout a combination, or as part of a progressive oblique assault (a Jeet Kune Do concept). If you can do this, you’ll discover that you are able to do things to opponents that they will not see coming.
